Re: UPR Reviews:
Join the Universal
Periodic Review third session live from 1-12 December 2008 on the U.N. Human
Rights Council Web Cast. Or later watch the archived UPR National Reports of
the day after the presentations by the U.N. Member States.
Live Web cast: http://www.un.org/webcast/unhrc/index.asp
National Reports of many
countries may not have information on Article 18 of the International Covenant
on Civil and Political Rights and the 1981 U.N. Declaration on the Elimination
of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or
Belief.
This is an opportunity to
listen and watch the live and archived web cast of the National Reports and
inter-active dialogue with U.N. Member States, read the US State Department
International Religious Freedom Reports on each country and make known your
thoughts on the Right to Freedom of Religion or Belief by response to an
article, paragraph or term in the C&C Database.

The Universal Periodic

Human Rights web site.
